Quordle today (game #852) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #852, are…

  • CREST
  • SLICK
  • RATTY
  • SPURT

This is a fairly standard Quordle, all told. The repeated T in RATTY is the only real complication, and all four words are relatively common. There are no truly uncommon letters, either – although K is not that likely to appear in general, it's rather common at the end of a word. RATTY was the only quadrant I 'lost' a guess on following my three set start words, meaning I solved this Quordle in eight, with one spare.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Quordle today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.

Quordle today (game #851) - hint #1 - Vowels

How many different vowels are in Quordle today?

The number of different vowels in Quordle today is 3*.

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

Quordle today (game #851) - hint #2 - repeated letters

Do any of today's Quordle answers contain repeated letters?

The number of Quordle answers containing a repeated letter today is 2.

Quordle today (game #851) - hint #3 - uncommon letters

The answers to today's Quordle, game #851, are…

  • COPSE
  • STINT
  • SPIRE
  • IONIC

Another day, another mixed Quordle challenge. STINT and IONIC both have repeated letters, and the latter in particular might prove difficult. COPSE is also a potential problem-maker, given that it's not a particularly common word. Against that, there are no uncommon letters here, and I doubt too many people will lose their streak – more that it just might require a bit of brainpower.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #850, are…

  • MOLDY
  • REBEL
  • SPORT
  • MECCA

There are a couple of potentially difficult words to solve here, but overall it's not too bad. MECCA contains a repeated C, which isn't a common occurrence at all, plus people may think it's a proper noun and therefore wouldn't be included. It is a proper noun of course, but it's a standard noun and therefore justified here. REBEL was the one I struggled with; the repeated E don't help, but it was the fact that the answer could easily have been REVEL that tripped me up.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #849, are…

  • BLAST
  • USAGE
  • AUDIO
  • DETOX

It's been a while since we've had an uncommon letter in Quordle, but we got one today in the form of the X in DETOX. That's probably the hardest word here, although USAGE might cause a few issues too, given that U is not often seen at the start of an answer. There will be no such problems with AUDIO, with its four vowels almost certainly making it stand out early on.

  • FAVORITES
  • WINDOW
  • HELP
  • TOOLS
  • FILE

  • SPANGRAM: MENUITEMS

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

I quite liked this one. I was initially a little baffled by it, finding FAVORITES by accident and struggling to link it to the theme clue of 'At the bar'. That confusion only grew when I followed it up with WINDOW and HELP. Was this something about going to a bar? You can have a favorite bar, or a favorite drink. You can have a window seat. The staff can be called 'help', maybe. It sort of fit. 

It was only when I uncovered TOOLS that I realized what was going on. After that it was just a case of staring at my laptop screen and hunting for options. The remainder followed soon after.

Do any of today's Quordle answers contain repeated letters?

The answers to today's Quordle, game #848, are…

  • NUDGE
  • OVINE
  • STRIP
  • TABOO

A couple of today's Quordle puzzles might tax the brain a little more than usual. OVINE is not a particularly common word and may not spring readily to mind, while TABOO has an unusual structure with a repeated O at the end of the word. I spent a good five minutes trying to solve the latter, but otherwise got off lightly here, with my start word strategy again doing a lot of the hard work.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #847, are…

  • FORCE
  • SPREE
  • CACHE
  • RADII

This is potentially a very difficult Quordle, although as always much will depend on what your strategy is. Mine is to begin with three set words, STARE, DOILY and PUNCH, which between them use 15 of the most common letters in the alphabet, including all five vowels. Plus, most of those letters feature in their most common positions; for instance S is likely to be at the start, Y at the end and so on.

Sometimes, it just works. Today was one of those days. And it was just as well, because with repeated letters in SPREE, CACHE and RADII, and with the latter being a more obscure word than most, too, it could have been much harder for me. However, my three start words gave me a really good opening and I was able to solve each of them in consecutive guesses after that, leaving me with two guesses spare.
